Game Thread: Miami Heat Game Thread for month of January

Little help from JJ with ball-handling -- thats exactly the way the Heat should play it. Do it like last game where it was Goran and Dion with the ball most of the time, it worked to near perfection for them and the team as a whole

Who said I didn't enjoy it?
My comment was just that it wasn't going to change the end result which is lotto.

If you're in it, might as well have the best chance for #1 IMO.

As I just stated on the NBA boards, based on what I've seen from the first 45 games or so, we are a lock for a top 5 and probably top 3 depending. I think we're stuck with LA and Brooklyn. Hard to see us passing any of those other teams.

Hopefully they decide to rest more guys

Dream start for the Heat -- at least in the eyes of those of us wanting them to do well and win....

 

[Paolo305613]

As I say that, a couple of McGruder sequences killing the heat

 

[Paolo305613]

2 point deficit after 1 thanks to all that.. the good times for the Heat may be short-lived tonight... at least we arent getting blown out... yet

 

[Paolo305613]

Zaza is such a flopper ... should play for the Hornets

 

[Paolo305613]

ill-advised shot from Goran there... I always say it, Heat can't have wasted possessions... Against an opponent like this one, even more so

 

[Paolo305613]

Lazy defense after a bad sequence of offense leads to that basket

 

[Paolo305613]

McGruder touches ball gives it to JJ=turnover

 

[Paolo305613]

He finally takes it inside

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan got carried away and forced that one... another wasted one

 

[Paolo305613]

McGruder with the airball... of course ... Lucky to be down 2 at the half... potential 3rd quarter meltdown possibly awaits

 

[Paolo305613]

4-7 57% from the line not going to get it done for the Heat tonight

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat need more breathing room before we go to that bench again

 

[Paolo305613]

FTs are gonna cost us tonight more than ever

 

[Paolo305613]

Heat in bonus their chance to make it count if they want

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan sticking his head up his ass now

 

[Paolo305613]

Not surprised Hassan is ineffective offensively tonight -- settling too much away from the paint.

Our meltdown begins
